Meade Individual Filters

· Show/Hide Description · (Product listings are below description)

Meade individual glass eyepiece color filters thread into the chrome barrels of virtually all 1.25" eyepieces available today (except Vernonscope and Questar Brandons, which require Questar/Vernonscope brand filters). The filters are available separately to allow you to build a filter collection matched to your observing needs. They are also available in several pre-selected four-filter sets at a lower cost than the total of the filters bought individually. Each filter uses polished plane-parallel optical glass to minimize internal reflections and ghosting. They are antireflection coated and mounted in matte black low reflectivity cells with thin knurled grip rings for a more secure hold in cold weather. The filter number is printed on the side of each filter to eliminate guessing about which color you're looking at when examining a filter at night with a red flashlight. Each filter has dual threads to allow you to stack two filters together – to combine a neutral density filter with a color filter to simultaneously reduce glare and enhance contrast, for example.

Each 26mm clear aperture filter is packed in a foam-lined plastic storage case. Those who have more than one filter might find optional filter case FP4 useful to keep all the filters in one convenient container.
